What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Big Air Trampoline Park's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, travel and living expenses incurred during training are due as they are incurred. This means that franchisees should budget and plan to pay for these costs, such as airfare, hotels, meals, and transportation, throughout the training period. The FDD estimates these expenses can range from $0 to $7,500. The low end of $0 assumes the franchisee lives in Laguna Hills, California, where training is held, and can travel home each night. The high end assumes the franchisee will need to travel to Laguna Hills, California.
These expenses cover not only the franchisee's costs but also the costs associated with on-site training provided by a Big Air Trampoline Park representative. Franchisees are responsible for covering the airfare, meals, transportation, and lodging for the Big Air Trampoline Park representative during on-site training.
Since these expenses are paid directly to third parties like airlines, hotels, and restaurants, the refundability of these costs depends on the arrangements the franchisee makes with those individual vendors. Franchisees should clarify the payment schedules and refund policies with these vendors to manage their financial obligations effectively.
